Chapter 849
“You want to get into Maxwell University through the normal class!” Henry blurted out. “That way, you wouldn‘t count as Donovan‘s student.”
Jared nodded solemnly.
“Initially, I did tell myself to put up with him since we‘ll be leaving for Maxwell University soon. But after everything today, enough is enough.”
With that explanation, everything finally fell into place for Henry. “Oh! No wonder you said Donovan will come to regret his actions!”
“All right, let‘s return to the dorm and pack our things,” Jared replied. “I‘m going home to ask for a transfer to the normal class.”
“Good, I‘m going with you. I’ve had it with Donovan! If it weren‘t for you and Boss, I wouldn’t have stayed on in the preparatory class!”
Jared‘s ears pricked up at the mention of Arielle. Right, I think I‘d better let her know about this too.
Meanwhile, Arielle had just finished preparing the medicine for Josee and was about to leave when Jared‘s call came through.
After listening to him for a couple of seconds, she replied, “Yes, I already knew that about Donovan.”
“What? You knew all along, and you still put up with it?” Jared asked incredulously.
“My greatest strength is the tolerance I have for people. For those whom I don‘t care about, I have no problem putting up with whatever nonsense they throw my way.”
“So… Do you want to transfer to the normal class with
us?”
“No, thanks,” Arielle mumbled as she looked wistfully up into the sky. “I’ll be leaving Jadeborough University once I’ve found what I want, so it doesn‘t matter which class I’m in. Besides, Trisha is still in the preparatory class. I can‘t leave her there.”
“Very well then, I got to go for now. If you’re going back, remember to sit for the exam tomorrow. Slap Donovan in the face for me while you’re at it.”
Arielle couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle. “All right, I’ll try my best.”
As soon as she hung up the phone, the main door opened, and Vinson walked in.
“Huh? Why are you home so early?”
“How can I concentrate at work knowing my wife is home?” Vinson teased as he removed his jacket.
Then, he pulled Arielle into his embrace and took a deep whiff of her scent. “Mmm, Darling, you smell nice.”
“You cheeky thing!” Arielle playfully scolded while pushing him away. “What‘s gotten into you?”
Vinson broke into a bitter smile and sighed. “Something big.”
That afternoon, Vinson had played golf with a client who was the most uxorious husband he had ever met. As the game progressed, the client kept fussing over his wife to make sure she was comfortable and happy.
In the end, he even ended the game early so his wife wouldn‘t risk getting tanned in the sun.
“I had enough of their public display of affection, so I wanted to get some from you.”
Everything sounded so ridiculous that Arielle didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Oh, my goodness. How old are you?”
Vinson merely shrugged and mumbled, “Seriously, if you had seen them, you’d be grossed out too.”
“Perfect!” Arielle exclaimed as she shoved a thermos flask into his hand. “Since you‘re free and need a distraction, you can help me deliver this.”
Even though Arielle had meant it as a joke, Vinson was more than happy to comply. “Okay, where to?”
Speechless, she could only stare blankly back at him.
When did my backer become my loyal pet?
Eventually, both of them decided to head toward Rocher
Private Hospital together.
Along the way, Vinson got a call from the Specialized Forces and promptly answered it with his Bluetooth earpiece.
“Hello?”
“Captain Nightshire, we have confirmed Cindy‘s whereabouts.”
